Debug sounds interesting. Looking at the website, it sounds like it focuses on upcoming indie games? Is it long form content, or mostly previews/reviews?

Oh neat, that's one I've never really considered but it sounds ideal!

I hadn't considered the BBC ones, that's a good suggestion. I like the sound of Prospect, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available via my library - perhaps once to buy physically if I see it around. Thank you!

Yes my local library does have PressReader and I was thinking of checking out the magazines that way like you say :) There are a huge number of options on there though!

It's a shame that Retrogamer has fallen in quality. Do you know of any other gaming magazines that have pieces worth reading?

It's been ages since I've sat down and read a magazine. But there are times when I don't have the motivation to read a book and I just want a quick, well-written article to enjoy.

To give an example of the sort of content, someone shared this interesting article on Lemmy the other day about the ways in which far right tech CEOs mimic AIs being trained on their own data. It was a really fascinating idea!

I'm not too fussy about the content - science, technology, gaming, nature, opinion pieces, politics (but not too heavy).

For the longest time I used to get the National Geographic, which always had good content. But I feel a bit burnt out with those. Something along these lines on another topic would be perfect.

Can anyone recommend any particular magazines?

AI is creating fake historical photos, and that's a problem in c/[email protected]

Interesting article, and a worrying trend. Stamping a bit of text like 'Generated by Midjourney' is ridiculously weak protection though. I wonder if some kind of hidden visual data could be embedded within AI images - like a QR code that can be read by computers but is invisible to humans.

Just found the wikipedia page for steganography. Have any AI companies tried using this technique I wonder? 🤔

Personally I feel like piracy shouldn't be criminalised in the way it is, and certainly any attempts to worsen the punishments should be fought against. However your reddit comment is quite bizarre to be honest... I think laws protecting children and animals against harm are a good idea!
